" In general, for the less typical names, product offered by various vendors tends to be quite consistent," he notes. "For the most common strain names, nevertheless, a wider range of various items are offered."
If you buy item from a quality source, the weed strains ought to be more or less consistent. Remember, nevertheless, that every individual responds differently to cannabis.
It's likewise worth researching the possible unfavorable impacts of the strain. A number of the more typical strains, which you can find below, list dry mouth, dry eyes, and dizziness as possible side effects.
